Texas middle school nearly doubles instruction time for core subjectsA Texas middle school has adopted a schedule that nearly
doubles class time for core subjects -- math, science, English and
social studies -- to 85 minutes from 45 minutes. Officials said the
change is intended to help students better grasp core subjects and allow
more time for remediation. The schedule limits students to one elective
course daily to allow for the additional instructional time.Commerce Journal (Texas)
